It's Official!

Rating: Null/10 (1 July 2003)

That does it! Just the first three years of this decade have produced more good horror films than the entire ten of the nineties. The nineties had Candyman, Scream, Ravenous, and In the Mouth of Madness, and that was it. There were some good comedies with horror trappings (Tremors, Frighteners. Demon Knight), but those four films were it. In the last three years, though, we've had Devil's Backbone, Frailty, Session 9, the Others, the Ring, and Audition. Good stuff. There has been dreck, including two of the worst horror movies I've ever seen, House of 1,000 Corpses and Feardotcom, but we are really in a renaissance of horror films right now. 28 Days Later continues this good run with an intense, Romero inspired movie with scares, action, and good performances.
